While we realise that it is a best practice to sign such emails and are aware of the value it offers, we are planning to discontinue email signing from just these addresses starting 1 January 2014. It will allow us to phase out a part of our infrastructure that makes future migration a lot easier, while saving cost in the mean time. it isn't obvious to me whether this is a transitional step and what the expected duration would be. That said, reducing authentication appears an odd signal to me, the technical/operational background of which I'd rather understand in more depth. -Peter
